For a square with side (3x − 2), what are the small corner area and the combined middle area?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 4 and −12x

Direct answer: Option A, 4 and −12x, is correct. Split the side 3x − 2 into the two parts 3x and −2. In the square model, the small corner is made from the constant part, so its area is (−2)² = 4. The two middle rectangles each have area (3x)(−2) = −6x. Together they contribute −6x + −6x = −12x. This also follows from (3x − 2)² = 9x² − 12x + 4. Option B gives half of each relevant result and therefore misses the full contribution. Option C has the correct corner but loses the negative sign. Option D gives 9x², which is the large x-part square, not the small corner. Remember that squaring −2 makes a positive corner area, but multiplying 3x by −2 keeps the negative sign in the middle terms.
